Help needed

Hi, dear colleagues,

I need your help. I�ve just translated a refrain from a Slovene song for kids which I will need from students from abroad that are visiting us next week. It was a challenge because I needed certain words so that the song can be sung the same way as the original. Here is my English version:

I will set off and I will sow (share)

my good will in (with) people�s hearts.

With my right hand the sun is carried,

with the left a golden laugh.

Is it OK and does it make any sense?

Here is the link to the whole song:

Here is the Slovene refrain:

Jaz pa pojdem in zasejem

dobro voljo pri ljudeh.

V eni roki nosim sonce,

v drugi zlati smeh.

I would really appreciate your comments.

Thanks a million.

Zvonka,

It sounds good, but I would use "In" rather than "With" in the last two lines.

Me too! Here it is, Bruce! It�s a nice German goulash and a glass - bottle, if you wish, of the finest red. My apologies if you are a veggie, but I think I�m OK offering you this! Enjoy, as they say in your homeland!

Edit: Don�t worry if you don�t like mushrooms, and those look pretty fierce! - I�ll have them. Bon appetit!
